I'll repost the whole articel from Catholic World News:
Insanity finding or execution in Afghan apostasy trial?
Kabul, Mar. 23 (CWNews.com) - Afghanistan's government is asking for "public understanding of the sensitivity of religious issues," in response to worldwide protests of the "apostasy" trial in which a Christian man could face the death sentence.
A statement released by Afghanistan's embassy in Washington, DC, sought to deflect the criticism with the announcement that the country's courts are now "evaluating questions raised about the mental fitness" of Abdul Rahman. The statement hints that the Christian convert could escape punishment if he is found mentally unfit.
So, if you turn to love and peace over killing anyone who offends you...you're insane. You know, if sanity is the logic of the world over the Love of God. And to choose the love of God over the world is insane. Ok. Sign me up.

I beg your pardon!!!! So they're basically saying that if you convert to Christianity you're probably insane?
I have heard about Makatam Mountian and want to do a post on it sometime. What is the whole story? I seems like a very wonderful Miracle.
What an excellent miracle. I'll be sure to keep it on my short list for a future post. Ahh, the full circle of things. I'd did like the account of Marco Polo very much. I'm thankful for his account...and as always in Lent, I'm thankful he brought Pasta back from Asia :)
